Bridget Jackson
English amateur golfer
Barbara Amy Bridget Jackson (born 10 July 1936) is an English amateur golfer. She won the 1954 Girls Amateur Championship, the 1956 English Women's Amateur Championship and the 1967 Canadian Women's Amateur. She played in three Curtis Cup matches, 1958, 1964 and 1968.
Golf career
Jackson represented England in the 1954 England–Scotland girls match at West Kilbride and then won the subsequent Girls Amateur Championship, beating Dolores Winsor at the 20th hole of the final. Jackson had holed a 4-yard putt at the 18th hole to take the match to extra holes.
In 1955, Jackson made her debut in the Women's Home Internationals at Royal Portrush, and the following week reached the semi-finals of the Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship, losing 3&2 to Jessie Valentine. Jackson was selected as part of a British women's team that toured Australia and New Zealand in the second half of 1955. Because many of the senior players were unavailable, the team turned into a team of five juniors, aged between 18 and 21. The tour was such a success that the team was awarded the Association of Golf Writers trophy, the first time a team had won the award. Jackson was not included in the 1956 Curtis Cup team, which was announced at the end of March, being selected as first reserve.
